 Self Care is a big deal. I know you hear more and more people talk about this one topic more than any other topic around. Since we have all encountered the Crazy and time stamped Pandemic, it has been one heck of a ride for all to endure, not to mention ones who were already on the verge of a mental breakdown because of other things that was happening in their lives. Self care became a big topic for me when I started to have my own mental breakdown due to the fear of the pandemic.  I have never in my life experienced such a detrimental moment in time than I have in 2020. It literally took a toll on me mentally. I was doing my best to put on a brave face for all in my home, my children, my husband and even myself. I was so afraid of the unknown because I had never been in that type of situation before. I mean of course we wake up, take on day to day life and life seems normal or so we think, but when Covid-19 hit, it took on a whole new beast and it took no prisoners, it wasn't pic

Easier said than done! Yup this I definitely do know. I want more! I am enough! Why not me? These are just a few things that I say to myself when I just don’t understand why?? Why isn’t it happening for me? Why do I feel stuck? Why am I not seeing results? When will it be my time?   Guess what?? Your time is now! It’s your time to never stop giving up on you. It’s your time to fight for you until you have no more fight to give. It’s your time to just let go & Let God! It’s your time to shine, not tomorrow but today, heck every freaking day you are given the opportunity to see another day, you better shine’  Tomorrow isn’t promised, and neither is the next hour, so stop focusing on things that have nothing to do with your success, things that have nothing to do with your goals. Focus on the now, Focus on You and dig deep for your self preservation that will get you to your success. Always trust & believe that God got you and he wants you to be Great!  Coach Yulonda❤️ #successisi

I know! You have heard this as a child more times than you can count. My mom would say your not getting anything else until you eat your veggies. Needless to say I didn’t like eating my veggies. It wasn’t until I became an adult to understand the full meaning behind eat your veggies, which is now my favorite way to say eat the rainbow 🌈 .  A colorful plate is literally life saving to your full body. Vegetables have an array of nutritional ingredients that are all natural. They help regulate your digestive system, keep your heart healthy, boost your gut health, flush your liver, and keep the arteries clean, along with many other nutritional benefits and being so delicious.  Pull up on the veggies, pull them all to your plate. Add as many colors to your plate, that you literally think your eating the rainbow. The next time your in the market, head straight over to the vegetables and look at the many beautiful colors that are so eye appealing. Bring some home and start making the most nu

UTI’s are the absolute worse. They come when unexpected and they will turn your life around. I was never one to suffer from a UTI, until I got into my early 40’s. I would just get that uncomfortable feeling when it does hurt but it’s like the urge to pee but when you do it’s only a mere few, literally.  Well one night I went to bed feeling great, nothing was wrong, woke the next morning had the urge to urinate, went to the bathroom and when I urinated it felt like the worse pain of my life. It didn’t burn but it was very very uncomfortable.  I thought it was in my mind, like noooo that really didn’t just happen. So I went about my morning with my usual routine, exercised, drink my lemon water and of course had to go to the bathroom again. Well long and behold there it was again, the pain was just so uncomfortable, it hurt and it had me on 💯  I immediately went into prayer, spoke with my Heavenly Father and started my regimen to get rid of this unbearable UTI. Here is the key ingredien

Man going back down memory lane! It was March 2020, Covid was hitting the earth 🌍 like a bombshell with no ending at site. Anxiety took over my body, sleepless nights and the thoughts of me dying was raging in my head, almost everyday.  I chose food as my comfort, my go to and it never forsaked me. It was always readily available and it gave me pure satisfaction. I remember waking up at night with a full panic attack, heart palpitating, legs feeling heavy like a brick 🧱 and me just praying it would all go away.  That night March 3rd 2020 I knew I had to do something and I knew I either needed professional help or the entire strength of my Heavenly Father to see me through. I prayed and cried many nights. I felt helpless and it seemed like I was the only one going through or so I thought.  It wasn’t until I made the decision to just stop and let God handle this matter. I needed my Heavenly Father more than I could imagine and I needed him to help his daughter. I begged, pleaded and pr

The problem that I see with most is many have no patience when it comes to nourishing their bodies. Everything is fast food and on the go. Healthy takes time and it’s imperative to have patience with your body as your going through this journey.  When I got home today, the last thing I wanted to do was cook, I just wanted to put my feet up and chill, and get something quick & fast, but that wasn’t going to get me to my goals. That kind of thinking wasn’t going to help me with my weight. So I revamped my thinking and made it happen. Took me all about 30 minutes tops to prepare this meal for my family. Now this meal is for a family of 6 but you can break it down to your household size.  Ingredients:  8 Bell Peppers 1 Red onion 9 mushrooms  4 cans of Tuna 2 Cups of Kale 1/2 cup of veggie broth 2 Tbsp of Mayo  Seasonings: Pepper Obay seasoning  Garlic & Herb seasoning  Garlic powder  Instructions:  Pre heat oven to 350 degrees, Slice peppers in half, rinse and place on a baking she

Food was not my friend, is what I use to tell myself. Holidays would come around I would eat so much, which was literally pass full and feel stuffed like a Turkey. It was one of the worst feelings there could be. I would eat because it was there or because I’m just having such a great time and everyone else is eating so why not me?  It wasn’t until I started to look at what I was eating and why? Why did I have to eat to feel over full or to eat where I  had to unbutton my pants, that was just a mess within itself. Holidays for me is about family and creating moments that I can cherish for my lifetime. Foods play a major part in all gathers & especially holidays, celebrations  & birthdays. I realized that how I eat and what I eat affects not only my  body but it also affects my mind! I took control of me and took accountability for my actions and the relationship I had with food! To eat healthy is to be truly in tune with who you are, to want more than just the now and to live a

Veggies Saves Lives❤️❤️ I’m a true believer that they help heal, detoxify the body and help with releasing fats in your arteries to help you stay alive.  Think about this, your body goes through all types of changes daily, which means your body needs something to keep it a float, focused and maintained to flow everyday. Veggies help with cleansing the body, and replenish what you lose daily.  I EAT THEM EVERYDAY!!! My favorite veggies are  Red Peppers- they have a load of vitamin A and C because they stay on the vine the longest and let’s not forget how juicy they are! They help your skin glow and shine!  Mushrooms-when I discovered that they could possibly mitigate the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes and cancer! That’s all I needed to know. I lot of people can’t get down with mushrooms, but if you know how I know, you may need to make an exception to that rule you have! Eat to live!! Kale- loaded with Vitamin, Copper and Magnesium just to name a few, but let me tell you how

At first I use to crave a good ole Dominos Pizza, I had to have my fix at least once a week, but at some point eating like that lead me to a life of misery. Just overwhelmed & unsure if I was ever going to lose the weight. It wasn’t until I developed a different way of looking at things, at looking at life. Not being indecisive or undecided.  I knew that food wasn’t the enemy, it was the way I viewed food, my relationship with or without food and what kind of life was I truly living where food was controlling me. I started to develop a more healthier relationship, not only with my food but also with my thought, my actions and most importantly my words. The words I spoke to myself meant a lot. It would determine if I was really going to put in effort and take action to better my health or was I going to continue down that spiraling roller coaster leading no where but right into hoops and hoops of circles.  I started simple & small, by adding in & not taking out or should I s

Structure to ones health is necessary!
